Morguard Corporation is proposing to develop a 28-storey, high-rise residential apartment building at 500 Coventry Road, the first in what is intended to be the long-term redevelopment of the larger parcel at 500 Coventry Road.
Phase 1 of the redevelopment of 500 Coventry Road includes a 28-storey residential building with a total of 309 residential units. The proposed development has a six (6) storey podium before stepping back to the tower, which has a floorplate of 725 square metres. The site layout accommodates a 14-metre setback from Highway 417 and appropriate setbacks to the east and west so as to allow for the future development and redevelopment of those blocks with high-rise buildings. The tower element will be separated from the north side lot line by 10.55 metres, from the east side lot line by 12.5 metres, from the west side lot line by 12 metres, and from the south side lot line by 18.1 metres.
An existing internal driveway will connect Coventry Road and the proposed development, with a 6.7-metre internal driveway loop proposed in front of the residential main entrance for pick-ups and drop-offs. A 6.7-metre internal driveway is proposed to the east of the building for trucks to access the loading space and vehicular access to the underground parking garage.
The main residential entrance is located on the west side of the building, with the ground floor including amenity areas for residents, a mail room, a rental office, loading and service areas and a bicycle storage room. The ground floor features ample fenestration and landscaping to improve the at-grade experience.
Vehicle parking for Phase 1 is provided within a new underground parking garage and within the existing surface parking area on the larger parcel. In total, there will be 319 vehicle parking spaces for Phase 1 - 207 below grade and 112 as existing surface parking). The intention is that over time, as the site develops, the surface parking will all be removed and shifted into underground garages, and the parking ratios will be significantly reduced. The underground parking garage is accessed from a drive-aisle on the east side of the proposed building. The intention is that the garage can be expanded north and west to accommodate future phases of development.
A total of 309 bike parking spaces are provided on the ground floor, with the balance provided within the underground garage. Bike storage is accessed through a dedicated door on the east side of the building.
